I have two brothers, one sister, and a mother, who I am around all the time. I noticed the other day after coming out of my brother's room, and going into my sister's room, that I behave absolutely no differently around either one – none of my family does, and we all get along very well. When I thought about it, this is exactly the same in all aspects of my life no matter where I am, and I have (pretty much) equal amounts of male and female friends. A lot of the things that they say about men and women are untrue, like women talk all the time (no one talks more than my youngest older brother), or that men think about sex all the time (yes, they do think about it more than women, but not nearly as much as everybody always makes out). I don't really find them any different from each other (apart from the obvious physical discrepancies!), and I can’t understand why so many people are so intrigued and confused by the opposite sex. What does everyone else think?

Well, we saw a woman Prime Minister, and her achievements included:
A free-enterprise economy; implementing tight monetary policies to control inflation, lower taxes and reduce government spending; privatisation of state-owned companies and public housing; introducing legislation to curb the monopoly powers of trade unions and make their leadership more accountable to their members.
Good job she couldn’t make decisions under stress, or who knows what kind of great country we’d be living in! Moron.

There are the obvious differences that help define social roles and personality. Other than that, a lot of what is seen as gender is conditioning and stereotyping.

I think you're right, we're all basically the same. Many years of slight differences have turned into wide rifts, and the two genders are often brought up separately, so we don't always understand each other as well as we could. Basically, I agree wholeheartedly with you.

A little off topic...They were debating womens rights in the French Parliament and one of the Deputies said, "After all, there is so little difference between men and women..." and the whole chamber rose as one and shouted, "Vive Le Difference!!!"

I have always figured that if there is a devil, his (or her) greatest victory has been the divide between men and women.
Look at any type of prejudice, it is always based on non-existent differences

I agree with you. I don't know why people are so confused about the opposite sex. We are all human after all.

I don't know, once I got married my husband and I started acting a lot like every maried couple on TV. I think when you grow up it might make more sense
